Just For Fun...

Because I never have my camera out anymore...

I think Deanna took this one of the twins...

Natalie and Abigail playing dressup.. I love how Natalie is posing in the background :)

Smile, girls!

Not too camera shy, is she?

Hope she doesn't drop that poor baby under her arm

What a Difference a Week Makes!

This was how we barbecued steaks last week Sunday:

Cold and snowy... blech

This is yesterday, less than a week later!

Enjoying the warm weather

They traced each other with chalk, and are now "dressing" themselves!

Allison blowing bubbles for Natalie to chase after church this afternoon:

Love this action shot:

Ok, Blogger is being dumb and not letting me format.... but this weekend was much more springlike and lovely.... even if my pictures are out of order :)

Art's cousin and family were in town from Carman, that's their little guy Riley that the girls are pushing on the swing. He was quite thrilled to have all those girls to boss around!

This afternoon Allison was blowing bubbles while Natalie chased them over the yard...

Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts... supposed to be a rainy week. Oh well, as they say, April showers bring May flowers!

March Break/Grandpa's Birthday

Two years ago we went on a hike through Hendrie Valley in Burlington, part of the Royal Botanical Gardens. It's a nice walk on the Boardwalk, and a bird sanctuary. The kids were thrilled to have the chickadees eating right out of their hands.
This year, we thought we'd go again...

all decked out in rubber boots, ready to go

Bethany and Deanna (and Olivia in between, I think) waiting for the birds to find them

Natalie getting discouraged. It's hard to be patient...

Micah calling "Come birdies..."

Perseverence pays off for Amanda!
